Hillsborough’s Housing Plan Faces Legal Challenges

Posted October 1st, 2025

A dozen challenges to the Hillsborough's affordable housing plan have been filed, including 11 by developers whose proposals to build multifamily housing were not included in the plan. Together, the 11 developers have proposed more than 1,200 residential units – both apartments and townhomes – throughout the 55-square-mile township with a population of more than 43,000. The township is claiming, through an analysis of vacant land, that it has a "realistic development potential" (RDP) of 270 units. All the challenges allege errors in Hillsborough's analysis of vacant land and the calculation of its RDP. Read more about Hillsborough and these legal challenges.
